Bohyun,

Apologies for the ambiguity.  I didn't know if you were restricted to a
specific CMS or platform already, or if you'd have the ability/freedom to
extend development of a payment gateway yourself.  For example, if you were
using WordPress, and were already locked in to Mijireh, or needed a
solution to fit some existing proprietary need.  It doesn't sound like
that's the case.

You will still need an SSL certificate on the domain you plan to run
charges through - but you can use non-SSL for testing purposes.  I've found
the documentation fairly easy to navigate, but I've been implementing their
solutions for a couple of years now, and perhaps familiar with how they've
set things up.

Just a thought - if you're replacing a cash register at the front desk, you
could also look into Square (https://square.com).  I think they're giving
that little square credit card swipey-thingy away now for free after
successful registration/activation.  You could just pickup an inexpensive
Android Tablet or find a used iPod Touch to handle transactions.  They
don't offer an embedded API for use in websites - yet.

I hope that helps!
